Save Badger: CDU coordinates input problem

[Harle]

In the mission Save Badger, I receive the following coordinates - LP085645.

I enter them to CDU and nothing comes up on the map. Just a steerpoint square in the HUD hovering somewhere off to north-west that I can never reach.

Started to suspect there's somethng wrong with those coordinates because some other coordinates (like GG324362) from a random mission pop up on the map just fine.

What am I doing wrong?

You may have to enter the 37T or 38T map grid as well. Sometimes it's required and sometimes not.

Where do I enter it?

[Hansolo]

It's the line just above where the UTM coordinates are entered. If it says 38T then type 37T and press selection key next to where it says 38T. Then CDU will change map reference to 37T.

Hi,

 

Badger - Mission 1

Your start is in Gudauta - therefore the preselect is 37T

About ca. 60 nm east of Gudauta begins 38T (target area)

You have to change it to 38T

Thanks a ton!

I wouldn't have been able to sleep well without that info.

It's annoying because 37T is quite a small part of the land area of the Caucasus.

 

Oh well.
